Parents are extremely annoying to live with! I go to college full time and have a part time job, which means I'm always fairly broke and busy. My parents constantly make me feel bad for not also working full time while going to college. I have a 93 Cavalier which is what my parents drove until my mom decided to buy a new car. When I was first entrusted with it it had no air, and for three damn years I drove it in Houston, Tx. But hey it was a car and it ran and I didn't have to pay for it.
Here Are Some Suggestions:
1. Maybe you can ask your mom, if you could help contribute to making insurance payments or car payments, gas money so you can have a right to drive the car too. I would also suck up by volunteering to wash the car, free of charge.
2.Or offer to buy your Grandmother's car and pay her a little each pay check and still let her use it when she needs it too? (families are good about letting you pay off slowly)
3. If this still doesn't work, maybe you and your mom should take turns each weekend having the car? So then you know when to make your plans and so does she. And hopefully both of you will stick to your designated weekend or find transportation from someone else. But you'll at least know in advance, whose weekend is who's
4.Or what I did forever having my mom drop me off at my destination or vise versa and calling her when I was ready to go.
5. Finally last but least, if your friends aren't willing to go out of their way to come pick you up, do you really want to hang out with them anyways? Offer to pay for gas money if they give you a ride. When I didn't have a car, this is what we always did. But I also had friends who coulnd't be troubled to come get me because I was out of their way, which always hurt my feelings but at least I knew who my real friends were. I drive at least 30 min. to visit my friend all the time and don't see it as a burden at all.
